Nemaline myopathy occurred sporadically in a 59-year-old woman. She had slowly progressive weakness. A muscle biopsy specimen showed nemaline rods, increased variation in fiber size, apparent loss of Type IIb fiber differentiation, and a "moth-eaten" pattern of the intermyofibrillar network.

Genetic and Structural Variations in Czech Patients With Congenital Myopathies
We present 79 unrelated patients with genetically confirmed congenital myopathy (CM). A total of 113 mutant alleles carrying 97 different variants with a presumed pathogenic effect were identified. All but five variants were small scale. The mode of inheritance was autosomal dominant (AD) (44.3%), autosomal recessive (AR) (43.0%), and X‐linked (XL) (12.

The dynamics of the β-propeller domain in Kelch protein KLHL40 changes upon nemaline myopathy-associated mutation [PDF]
Evolutionarily widespread, functionally and structurally diverse and still largely unexplored, Kelch proteins, characterized by the presence of a conserved C-terminal β-propeller, are implicated in a number of diverse fundamental biological functions ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) impose multifaceted challenges on individuals and their families, often resulting in significant medical and non‐medical expenses. While cost‐of‐illness (COI) studies provide valuable quantitative data, few explore the lived experience of financial strain.

Leiomodin-3-deficient mice display nemaline myopathy with fast-myofiber atrophy
Nemaline myopathy (NM) is one of the most common forms of congenital myopathy, and affects either fast myofibers, slow myofibers, or both. However, an animal model for congenital myopathy with fast-myofiber-specific atrophy is not available. Furthermore,

Molecular mechanisms and phenotypic variation in RYR1-related congenital myopathies [PDF]
Dominant mutations in the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RYR1) gene are well-recognized causes of both malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) and central core disease (CCD).

OXPHOS complex deficiency in congenital myopathy: A systematic review
This systematic review assessed oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complex dysfunction in genetically confirmed congenital myopathies (CM). Among 5841 studies screened, 23 publications, comprising 45 CM cases, met the inclusion criteria. OXPHOS dysfunction was identified in 78% of cases, particularly where enzymology was performed, with RYR1 most ...
